Dear Professors, Researchers, Experts, and Students,
Qatar University is organizing the international conference on “Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Applications in Cancer Genomics Research (BBACGR 2015)” in collaboration with Qatar National Research Fund www.qnrf.org and Texas Tech University (Health Sciences Center-School of Pharmacy, USA) http://www.ttuhsc.edu/sop/biomedicalsciences/ . BBACGR 2015 will be held during April 26 – 28, 2015, at Qatar University, Doha, Qatar. On behalf of the University and the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to invite you and your faculty to participate in this important event.
This conference aims to create an interdisciplinary platform for stakeholders (academics, researchers, practitioners, specialists, policy & decision makers and students) to share, exchange and disseminate the results of their work, experience, research, ideas and perspectives pertinent to all aspects of bioinformatics and biostatistics applications. In particular, attention will be given to the bioinformatics and biostatistics applications in cancer genomics research all over the world and in Qatar especially. Furthermore, the scope of the conference goes beyond the technical, pharmaceutical and medical for dimensions to include the environmental, institutional, economic, commercial and educational aspects.
The BBACGR 2015 Main Topics are:
Cancer Research in the Post-Genome Era: Accurate editing of human cellular genomes by utilizing bioinformatics-biostatistics tools permit new approaches in functional genomics and possibly even corrective gene therapy and moving towards personalized medicine.
Bioinformatics and Statistics Applications: Bioinformatics and statistics methods have important applications in multidisciplinary research. One of vital application is to uncover correlation between genetic and environmental factors in cancer for better understanding of cancer risk assessment, improving diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Statistical Issues in Drug Design and Development: Statistical applications in the modelling and design of drugs have a great impact in decisions making and better returns of clinical trials that accelerate drug development.
Contemporary Statistical Theory and Applications: Methodological research in statistics and bioinformatics found other uses in collaborative work in clinical, biological, pharmaceutical, industrial, quality assessment, environmental, risk analysis, and functional genomic research.
Additional details are available on the conference’s website at http://www.qu.edu.qa/BBACGR-2015/
It is important to inform you that the deadline for submission of abstracts is the Feb. 15th, 2015.
